Niagara by Pierre Berton
A richly researched cultural and natural history that traces the origin, geology and changing appearance of the great falls while weaving in the human stories that have defined them — from Indigenous presence and early European explorers to nineteenth-century tourism, daredevil stunts and the rise of hydroelectric power — examining how commerce, politics and conservation have shaped the landscape and the myths surrounding one of North America’s most iconic natural landmarks.
